Angelina: The Newest Resident of Basquiat’s Former Home

The address of 57 Great Jones Street holds significant cultural importance in New York City. In 1970, Andy Warhol purchased this former carriage house and later rented it to renowned artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Basquiat both lived and worked in this space for around five years until his tragic death in 1988 from a drug overdose. Now, another prominent figure is linked to this address: Angelina Jolie. The actress has recently signed an eight-year lease for the property in Manhattan’s Noho neighborhood. She intends to utilize the space for her new fashion collective, Atelier Jolie, as reported by People magazine.

Angelina Jolie expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to be in this space through an Instagram post, saying, “It is a privilege to be in this space. We will do our best to honor and respect its artistic legacy with community and creativity. Hope to see you there.” Jolie’s children, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and Pax Jolie-Pitt, also participated in branding the building with the Atelier Jolie name. The collective will showcase the work of underrepresented tailors and incorporate upcycled materials. Sustainability and environmental friendliness are key values of this endeavor. While the exact amount Jolie paid remains undisclosed, the property was initially listed for $60,000 per month.
